Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark: "VCR" (the xx Cover):

Long-running synth-pop duo Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark just recently released their first LP in 14 years, History of Modern. They're keeping the train of productivity running with this cover of the xx's "VCR". OMD's take on the sparse, smoky tune is a little more synthetic and New Romantic-reminiscent, but it still retains the original's simple charms. Take a listen above (via the Quietus).
